Benefits of technology

[0004]The embodiments of the present invention described below are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed in the following detailed

Problems solved by technology

Bacteria or other such harmful organisms can enter the wound during this exposure and can result in the wound becoming infected or sustaining other such harmful effects.
In addition, the regular removal of the wound dressing may become irritating to the patient and can lead to additional soreness, tearing of the wound or other unacceptable conditions.

Abstract

A system for monitoring a physiological parameter comprises a substrate, a pair of drive electrodes, a pair of detection electrodes, and an RFID apparatus. The substrate is arranged to be removably securable to a biological organism. At least the pair of drive electrodes or the pair of detection electrodes is secured to the substrate. The RFID apparatus is arranged to be in electrical communication with at least the pair of drive electrodes or the pair of detection electrodes. Methods of using the device are also provided.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to monitoring physiological parameters and more particularly to monitoring physiological parameters using electrical measurements derived from voltage profiles obtained via radio frequency.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Observing and evaluating the physiological condition of a biological subject, such as a human, may facilitate an evaluation of the health or wellness of the human or biological subject. For example, a medical professional may observe one or more physiological parameters of a patient to assist in determining the patient's overall health or wellness. Once the health and wellness of the patient is determined, the medical professional can advise the patient of any course of medical treatment that could improve the health and wellness of the patient.[0003]Medical professionals often directly observe the physiological condition of a patient by visually inspecting or tactilely inspecting the pat...
